snfc

[dal2]

 

yes the snfc was founded on long distance racing but who says we cant have a programme to suit all scottish fanciers in 2010 be it inland or channel racing or both?????? as for the prize change being set at 1/10 as against the previous 1/15 imo this is the correct ratio check out most of the other uk nationals and classic organisations and you will see 1/10 1/8  1/7 so are these organisations mickey mouse????????? going by last years programme we had 300 400 500 600 mile racing for most snfc men!!!!,pigeon fanciers in scotland are thin on the ground and the national must cast its net to all corners. ;) ;)

 

Bang on

at last some common sense

 

[Guest frank dooman]

got to dissagree john iam not saying that thease races shouldnt take place just that they shouldnt be with a nat club they should be left to the big feds and combines so whats the prob with that maybe the prob is in the name national when it should be channel club JMO

[walterbmasson]

 

alec guinness did you read bigdas post north and south yes go for it you want the sprint leave the second half to get there just deserts best post yet go for bigda

[bibendium]

could the inland races not be flown under the ospice of the snfc , thus allowing a large birdage, but simply called something other than a national ie Scottish Classic open , or something like that,

yep everyone has an opinion frank but commonsense must prevail,big feds frank in scotland?? dont no which feds have enough birds to race from the english coast :-/as for the combines in scotland the last one i flew had us lads competing against fanciers 40 miles east of us imo much more chance flying in your section in the national. :-/ still think that there is a place for inland nationals. :) :)

fair points alex it never fails to amaze me if you try and get fanciers to get together to race a combine you all ways get the old nuget i cant beat them over there so as you say if your only interisted in the sec (and there is nothing wrong with that ) then the aguement i want to race the whole country doesnt stand up iam afraid, whats wrong with the way the glasgow fed has been diong it for 3/4 years all travel together and lib the same time but fly against your own area cost cutting at its best but your 100% right every one is entilted to their oppinion

[dal2]

Is it more water races that the distance man wants? Or is it that in winning an inland national the credit should be less? Or is it just that they shouldnt be called a national? or all three? Me personally like the lot, the more racin the better.

[Guest]

it already is a 2 tier program

you only get a silver award for inland races but a gold award for channel races

that in itself tells you that channel races are thought more of

[Guest frank dooman]

what bothers me is the inland race has the potential to destroy your main race birdage if you have a right bad one then the no,s will be down along with all the rest JMO.

no problem with what the glasgow boys do frank they have always been thinkers,not sure which combines are still on the go in scotland????

[Guest uphallhen]

  hall,  Â£50 says coatbridge dose not get the first drop of the doos  shotts,carluke, larkhall,lanark, do  any takers to prove bigda wrong ill  give you hal one week to come up with the proof  put this old chestnut to bed

 

bigda you are the man that said the national birds come from the area arbroath in race day 2hr after the borders before wee in the west gets one REMEMBER .Then this is comeing from a man that is not a member of any national.

was at all 7 nationals last year and i think most fanciers flying the water races will also fly the inland races. :)

in a nutshell it will destroy the national if not repairable now wait and see this year there will be another decline why  the name natiolnal  is being used for a ordinary race   :D :D ge me the money honey ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Bluedoo]

 

there you go, heared it hear first  then,  thats where the doos  come  back out arbroath down through dunfermline back of the campsie hills in to the west  80 mile out 2 hours behind the winners in the border

Be impressive doos that, flying from the channel to Arbroath then back to Dunfermline and across to the west and only 2 hours behind the winner. If they had brains they would break at Dunfermline the first time they went past it and only be 1 hour behind the winner.

 

 

 

[Guest uphallhen]

I would like just one inland national and the rest to be 500 to 600 mile racing with the national. if it was left to bigda then it would be 6 kelso's that would suit him the non member.

Hi Bluedoo this is a guy that says that the fed birds on race day dont come from the campsies hill.

Well now we're talking sprinters..............after 500+ miles. I suppose they could always start an national, one that doesn't go OUT of Scotland.

I NOTICED THAT NOBODY ANSERED MY ?S

i can believe that. when the arbroath lads get a doo from alencon theres normally 40 or 50 west doos with it. usually a few flying pigs as well

I struggle to get birds ready for the inland nats. and I'm sure most guys in the north do as well. We are lucky to be at 200 miles before the Newbury nat which is approx 400++ to N. sect
